TPN+ Registry

Simplifies daily vendor verification and strengthens third-party accountability by giving you real-time visibility into partner security status.

What the registry is

The registry lists TPN member companies and the shield status each one currently holds. Before you hand a cut, a master or a set of stems to another company, you can look them up and see whether they have been assessed, and how recently.

The value is that it is current. A questionnaire answered eighteen months ago describes a company as it was; the registry describes it as it is today, which is the difference between paperwork and knowing who you are dealing with.

It costs nothing. A free TPN+ account is all that is needed to search it — there is no membership to buy and no assessment of your own to complete first.

How to use it

  • Create a free TPN+ account. It takes a few minutes and no assessment history is required.
  • Before sending content to a company for the first time, search for them and check what status they hold.
  • Note the date. A recent assessment tells you more than an older one, whatever the status says.
  • If a vendor is not listed, that is not a verdict — plenty of good companies have never been assessed. Send them the five questions instead.
  • Re-check your regular vendors periodically. Status changes, and so does who your vendors subcontract to.
